Latest song by Common ft. Alessia Cara and Khalid--the title of the song is the 800 number for the National Suicide Lifeline...

Today we hosted our guest speakers from NAMI--the National Alliance of Mental Illness--with their Ending the Silence presentation. There are many stigmas about mental illness, yet 1 in 4 people suffer from various forms, and many go undiagnosed and untreated.

Suicide is the #2 leading cause of death of adolescents between the age 10 and 24. This is a staggering thought when we look around--many of these deaths could have been prevented. Some people think that mental illness consists of simply schizophrenia and more severe cases--whereas we also need to realize it includes ADD/ADHD, anxiety, eating disorders, etc. as well.

So what can you do? Take a look at the warning signs, and find out how you can help (yourself or a loved on).
